Screen Printing Seattle - Custom T-shirt Printing

Monofilament polyesterPolyester is much more stable than nylon. It is resistant but yet flexible enough to the irregularities of normal To compensate for printed material.
Approximately 80% of all screen printing applications with monofilament Polyesters performed, and the type of tissue is made of Saati Saatilene and can almost be described as a "universal web" becauseclimatic changes hardly impair the material.

Saatilene Hitech turn holds much higher stress levels from and has a much better dimensional stability than the simple Saati tissue. The use of Hitech tissue is required if the pressure tolerances are set very low.
Tissue characterization Saati fabric can use a series of codes as follows be identified:
Brand Name / thread count fabric / thread diameter / fabric color /
Weave For example:
Saatilene 140.34 UOP
- But what's the point
exactly mean?
Thread count
The number that follows the brand name of the material, the number of threads.
It relates to the number of threads per centimeter, that is to
Example 90, 120, 165 etc.
Fiber diameter
In manufacturing a good mask, it is important that the
Template itself apart from the relief mesh. WithDirect coatings are therefore prefers finer tissue. Indirect Capillary coatings and this effect can usually achieve in any type of tissue, as the layer thickness can be as are selected to match the tissue type.
The number following the number of threads, the yarn diameter is the each tissue:
120,40 = 40 microns thread diameter
120.34 = 34 microns thread diameter
120,31 = 31 microns thread diameter.
This information is a HD (heavy duty or high load), T
(Thin thread or fine thread weave fabric) or S (twill weave,
Twill weave) classification of the tissue. The trend is towards finer Using tissue, which has the advantage that the template has a has better sharpness and you better print quality achieved.
Fabric color Is the indication of the thickness of the thread following letter Information about the color of the fabric:
W = white, so white / undyed fabric
UO = ultra-dyed orange colored orange.
Why is now the fabric color important? In fact, the Fabric color a large influence on the exposure of the template. When a stencil is produced directly on a white fabric, which occurs when the exposure is UV light on striking the fabric fibers are scattered in all directions. This leads then underexposure and completing a fine detailed drawings and ultimately toin poor print quality.
This problem can be solved by the dyed fabric will. The color is known as Ultra Orange, was carefully selected because it absorbed about 85 percent of the ultraviolet radiation, rather than reflect or transmit it.
Is in indirect coatings such as car type Five-Star the material color unimportant. There, where templates on the Fabrics are produced, ie with emulsion or Capillary is recommended an ultra-orange fabric. It is important to know that for the exposure of a mask colored fabric on the exposure time by up to 50 percent must be increased.
